Breakout players

[Pile]

Konecny has looked pretty great whenever I've checked in on Flyers games

 

[Semantics]

Rasmus Dahlin had quite a severe breakout when this photo was taken. Hopefully his skin is a little healthier now.

 

[LeProspector]

maybe it’s just me, but i count “breakout players” as players who have been in the league for a few seasons and are now putting it together. guys like Rust and Duclair fit the bill, but guys like Kubalik, Elvis, Bear are first year NHLers. so they’re not having a breakout per say.

 

[ImNeverWrong]

Non rookies that have really taken their games up a level to become major contributors for their teams....

Rust, Duclair, Connor Brown, Bjorkstrand, Deangelo, Armia, Christian Dvorak, Chychrun, Garland, Svechnikov, Korpisalo, Burakovsky, Konecny, jt miller, tanner pearson, tristan jarry, ethan bear, robert thomas, brock nelson, blake coleman, tyler bertuzzi, robby fabbri, kubalik

how about for 2020-21? i hear a lot of charlie mcavoy from folks, but matt grzelcyk
could be a better choice at least from a pure points perspective.

 

[HanSolo]

Cody Glass has reportedly bulked up significantly since his injury and has the chance to center Reilly Smith and Johnathan Marchessault.

Could be a solid chance to make up for a rookie try of bungled development and significant injuries. I think his hockey IQ and playmaking instincts are strong enough that the disaster that was last season won't affect him much.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Gabe Vilardi is going to be a monster. The guy's injuries have not held him back and he looked real solid for the Kings in the few games he got in last year. I also expect Trevor Zegras to be a ppg threat within 2 years. His combination of skating, passing and hockey IQ is too much to pass on.

Using this criteria I'd nominate Ethan Bear and Nick Suzuki.

2021-22. who you got?

i'll go with mangiapane. he's gonna get 30.

 

[Taluss]

Kakko

 

[Necrobutcher]

Kakko

And Hughes. Both looked a lot better than their stats imply last year.

Id love to see it, I think having a true #1 winger would also help him more.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Heiskanen, hopefully, back on his natural side and more freedom I think this could be a season for him.

 

[DEANYOUNGBLOOD17]

Appleton on Seattle will impress this year......Scores 22 goals this year with an expanded role!

 

[kings11]

LA KINGS
Gabe Vilardi
Adrian Kempe
Trevor Moore

 

[OilersCoffeeArtBeer]

Elvis is right now

DeAngelo
And Rust as mentioned above
Fox

Eichel
Panarin
Pastrnak have all hit another gear

I disagree with Panarin and pastrnak. They have reached their peak in offensive numbers.
Eichel hasn't really done much so I guess that's a given.

 

[CanadianHawks]

Dach
Robert Thomas
Wahlstrom
Ty Smith
Nolan Patrick
Dunn
Appleton
Drysdale
Kakko

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Lafreniere more likely than Kakko, in my opinion.

 

[hoax15]

FLA:

Tippet
Denisenko

Players that prob don’t count:
Knight
Bennett
Lundell

 

[abo9]

In Montreal I think Jake Evans surprises a lot of people.

Kotkaniemi is also believed to be on a "need to" breakout with fans losing patience and management also seemingly losing patience.

 

[libertarian]

Nick Ehlers

If Maurice finally moves Wheeler down the line-up and give Ehlers 1st line minutes and 1st PP I can see him having a breakout season that will move him into a 1.2+ PPG player. Last season Ehler was the Jets best forward player ahead of Scheilele and I expect him to take another step up this season. Also If Ehlers does play with Scheifele and Conner I wouldn't be surprised if all three have career years because Ehlers make any players he plays with perform better.

 

[Channelcat]

Mason Appleton will become a known commodity this season.

 

[Spilot23]

Ok I heard this saying : third time is the charm. Tyson Jost for real this time !

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Mario Ferraro

 

[Zaddy]

Really hoping for Bouchard to establish himself as a top4 D this season, Oilers are kinda dependent on it.
